1992 Map of East Greenville

About this map

The boundary lines of Berks, Lehigh, and Montgomery counties converge in this landscape of rolling hills and creek-fed valleys. The borough of East Greenville and neighboring Pennsburg anchor the southeastern corner, where the Perkiomen Preparatory Sch and New Goshenhoppen Ch represent deep-rooted community foundations. To the north, the terrain rises toward South Mountain and the Furnace Hills, shielding smaller settlements like Old Zionsville and Seisholtzville. The hydrology is defined by the Perkiomen Creek and the expansive Green Lane Reservoir, which provides a significant local landmark. Genealogists will find interest in the numerous rural sanctuaries such as St Peters Ch and Salem Ch, as well as quiet burial grounds like Bethesda Cem. The map also captures the cultural era with the presence of a Drive-in Theater near Shimerville, a fixture of mid-century leisure that remained a part of the local geography through the late 20th century.
